Jesus; Savior

Body
I like Joshua from the Old Testament. Afterall, Jesus took on a form of his name, Yeshua. I believe Joshua was a shadow and type of Jesus. The first chapter and eighth verse in the book of Joshua, describes Joshua’s brave heart; This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8) Indeed, success is what the Lord granted Joshua because he had bold faith in his God. Joshua was chosen to lead God’s people out of the wilderness and into the promise land, but in order to obtain the promised land, there were many kinds of obstacles to overcome. Some of these obstacles included some tribes of peoples. Joshua’s great faith and his hearing ear to listen to God’s instructions lead him to the many victories the children of Israel experienced.

“Opportunity knocking usually sounds like hard work, so most people don’t answer the door.” – I heard it from friend and mentor Jim Chionsini as one of his “Old Italian Sayings.” He likely borrowed it, but he was, among other things, a master at repackaging good advice. An imaginary light from above formed a halo around the camera in the display case.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Body
Michael’s Mountain Ministry of Alpine would like to extend a very hearty THANK YOU to all of the many people who helped make the 2022 Live Nativity a wonderful success. To those of you who saw me running errands and gave me donations, to the people who helped me fill out forms, to all the ladies who made the delicious cookies, the donations of hot chocolate and coffee, the hours of setting up and taking down all the equipment, stuffing hay in the stable, to all the production volunteers as well as those who supplied the animals and the many prayers for the event made this annual Christmas tradition possible!

City to create strategic plan, citizen input needed As a governing body, the City of Alpine’s mission is “to provide quality service to the citizens of Alpine.” Quality can mean different things to different people, though, resulting in a less-than-direct approach to the many services and functions that encompass city government daily, from billing to street paving to providing parks for our citizens. This is why the city will be creating and implementing a strategic plan.
